Tuning Hierarchies in Princeton WordNet
Ahti Lohk, Christiane Fellbaum, Leo Võhandu · 2016
Many new wordnets in the world are constantly created and most take the original Princeton WordNet (PWN) as their starting point.This arguably central position imposes a responsibility on PWN to ensure that its structure is clean and consistent.To validate PWN hierarchical structures we propose the application of a system of test patterns.In this paper, we report on how to validate the PWN hierarchies using the system of test patterns.In sum, test patterns provide lexicographers with a very powerful tool, which we hope will be adopted by the global wordnet community.
